I asked our resident HOA expert to write a few words about HOA issues for today's post. The author has served on the board of his large HOA for 16 years,
worked for one of the largest HOA management companies, and was also on
the Fountain Valley City Council for six years. Lately he's been
working to expose the scandal behind the sale of the Orange County
Fairgrounds with this link. He'll be responding to comments.

The Mission of the IHB
The mission of the IHB is to provide general real estate education, to analyze and report market conditions, and to help people buy and sell homes.
The IHB Story
The IHB story is about a community of real estate watchers and seekers who banded together to tell the Truth about housing. The community grew strong through an exchange of information and entertaining online interaction; it was fun.
Out of this community, and the bubble blog community as a whole, a consensus opinion emerged of when, how and why an epic price crash was going to occur. I became one of the community scribes documenting the disaster and ultimately writing The Great Housing Bubble. It is the entire IHB community through research and reasoned opinion that created a collective consciousness bigger than all of us.
The binding principals and wisdom of the IHB guided us in the selection of services Ideal Home Brokers provides. |
